paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

African women navigate the complex intersection of traditional culture and modernity, sharing their stories in a collection described by one reader as "an intriguing collection of human experiences in a fantastic yet delicate basket.a cultural keepsake." They confront challenges such as being educated yet expected to submit to men, enduring sex education that prioritizes male pleasure, and negotiating their worth in terms of livestock. Some recount childhoods spent in hiding from rebel soldiers, facing torture in secret prisons based on mere suspicions, or grappling with the pressure to abandon ancestral faiths for imported religions. Others highlight the struggle between traditional healing practices and the skepticism directed at them by peers who favor Western medicine. Through these narratives, the writers reveal their resilience and ability to balance the legacies of their past with the demands of the future. Their stories evoke laughter and tears, showcasing Africa's uniqueness while celebrating shared human experiences. Ultimately, these accounts underscore the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, THE WORLD has recognized the extraordinary biological diversity of the forests of Tanzania's Usambara Mountains. As international attention has focused on forest conservation, farmers, foresters, biologists, and the Tanzanian state have realized that only complex negotiations will save these treasured, but rapidly disappearing, landscapes. Highland Sanctuary unravels the complex interactions among agriculture, herding, forestry, the colonial state, and the landscape itself. In his examination of the region's history of ecological transformation, Christopher Conte demonstrates how these forces have combined to create an ever-changing mosaic of forest and field. His study illuminates the debate over conservation, arguing that contingency and chance, the stuff of human history, have shaped forests in ways that rival the power of nature. In Highland Sanctuary, the forest becomes part of human history, rather than something outside of it. Highland Sanctuary cuts through a legacy of contention and ill will to inform contemporary conservation initiatives. Professor Conte explains how ecological changes take divergent paths in similar environments, in this case on mountains that harbor unique flora and fauna, and how these mountain environments achieve international importance as centers of biodiversity.…
